it had rapidly grown colder by the change
of wind from the southeast to the north
west, which increased in velocity and cold
ness until il resomhled a blizzard and pre-
cipitated the moisture of the fog into a
densely falling snow. In short time the

was consecrared by the lit. Rev. Bishop
Curtis, assisted by the Rev. Father Carey
This will prove great convenience to the

A special from Laurel, Delaware, states
that Isaiah Beach, an old and wealthy far
rner, living near Delmar, was seriously
stabbed on Sunday last by Robert Morris,
mdlatto, during heated discussion over
the ownership of a bird dog which Beach
accused Morris of stealing. They were on
the Beach farm when the quarrel began.
Morris retreated as far as the public road,
followed by Beach. On reaching the road
the mulatto became very impudent, for
which Beach proceeded to severely chastise
hun. The Golored man then drew a large
knife and dealt his adversary a stab in tho
stomach, intiicting wound several inches
deep. Morris fled, but was subsequently
captured. The wounded man is lying in a
precarious condition Much excitement pre-

The War Department Clerks talking
About it.
THOUSAND DOLLAR CLERK GETS 81. GOO PLACE
WITHOUT EXAMINATION.
A circumstance OF interest In connection with
the promotions in the War Department has come
TO light which creates considerable comment In
clerical circles. E. D. Bailey, thousand dollar
clerk In the Surgeon Generals Office, resigned his
position just previous to the examination of the
clerks In his office to accept g. 900 position un.
der the Civu Service Commission, II is said with
out examination Although the Examination for
promotion rules apply as yet only to the War De-
partment, there Is Il general desire to know why
the clerk In question was not required to pass an
| examination to show his efficiency before promo
tiOn.
At the Civil Service Commission it was admitted
to STAR reporter that Mr.. Bailey had been ap-
pointed to $, 600 position there, he having re-
partment TO accept 1t. He passed the
regular examination of the civil service and
also the examination for stenOgraphy and teeg-
raphy and was appointed in the War Depart
| ment. subsequently the Commission wanted q
| man having the qualifications they knew Bailey
possessed and they offered him the place. He re-
signed his place in the War Department and ac-
cepted. AT the Commission 1t is said that had
Bailey been given promotion in the War Depart
ment, the only Department wherein the rules OF
examination for promotion only applies, without
another examination, that would lave been raw
Oritism, but he took place outside that Depart
ment.
